Hostposts and multiple panoramas

[nmendes]

Hi. I've just bought the Flash Panoramas Player.

I'm trying to do a virtual tour that has several panoramas linked together.
I think I've quite understood the concept of the hotspots, and it makes sense if you start on a specific panorama and take the tour.

Now, what if you have the ability to start on ANY panorama? How do you manage the hotspots? Every panorama should have its set of hotspots that are loaded when the user enters it and that way the user can always take a complete tour no matter on which panorama he starts from. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Currently, Hotspots should have all hotspots description on start (it can't reload XML at runtime). If user can start on any panorama, any panorama should load the same hotspots XML, i.e. you can use the same section <hotspots></hotspots> for all panoramas (other section are different). Provide the correct "linked" parameter for every hotspot object and you will always get the correctly loaded hotspot's set for the current panorama.

Along the same original question, what if we are trying to creat links to several Panos that each have their own xml file with different parameters and hotspots?

For example look at the following code. I am trying to link to panos flash2, flash3, flash4, and flash5 from flash1. I am trying to get the following to work but when one of the new panos loads, its xml file does not load! The xml of the flash1 is still present. How do I solve this?

Should I use the Linked method?

<spot id="ToFlash1" static="1" salign="CT" staticX="-200.00" staticY="57.00" url="images/gallery1.png" blockMouse="1" depth="20"
onOver="blendMode=invert" onOut="blendMode=normal"
onClick="pano.flash1=free; loadPano(flash1.swf?xml_file=flash1.xml)"/>

<spot id="ToFlash2" static="1" salign="CT" staticX="-100.00" staticY="57.00" url="images/gallery2.png" blockMouse="1" depth="20"
onOver="blendMode=invert" onOut="blendMode=normal"
onClick="pano.flash1=free; loadPano(flash2.swf?xml_file=flash2.xml)"/>

<spot id="ToFlash3" static="1" salign="CT" staticX="0.00" staticY="57.00" url="images/gallery3.png" blockMouse="1" depth="20"
onOver="blendMode=invert" onOut="blendMode=normal"
onClick="pano.flash1=free; loadPano(flash3.swf?xml_file=flash3.xml)"/>

<spot id="ToFlash4" static="1" salign="CT" staticX="100.00" staticY="57.00" url="images/gallery4.png" blockMouse="1" depth="20"
onOver="blendMode=invert" onOut="blendMode=normal"
onClick="pano.flash1=free; loadPano(flash4.swf?xml_file=flash4.xml)"/>

<spot id="ToFlash5" static="1" salign="CT" staticX="200.00" staticY="57.00" url="images/gallery5.png" depth="20"
onOver="blendMode=invert" onOut="blendMode=normal"
onClick="pano.flash1=free; loadPano(flash5.swf?xml_file=flash5.xml)"/>


Thanks in advance for your help!
